THE FELLOW CRAFT .

The Master stood upon the wall, a plumb line in his hand,
And thus in solemn warning to the working, listening Band: — " By this unerring guide, " he said, " build up your edifice,
For I will blast your labors as ye deviate from this! "
O Wise and Good Grand M ASTER ,
We bless Thee for this light!

We must preserve the Landmarks olden, that our fathers set;
Approved of God, hoary with age, they are most precious yet;
Our brothers over the river worked within their mystic bound,
And for a six days' faithfulness, a full fruition found.

We must relieve the destitute, disconsolate and poor;
For 'tis our Master sends them to our hospitable door;
And H E who giveth all things richly, to His children's cry,
Will mark, well pleased, our readiness His bounty to supply.
